Black

Black
Dirty thief
In the grease
Was the proof too good to be believed?
Is the [bad word] With the dumb
Who belongs on broken knees?

So far it occurs to me
That everybody in the world is afraid of me
Just one more cent and down we go
Now the news is out
And I think I'm going to

Kill myself
Or [bad word] myself
Or tell myself
About the only thing that matters now
We bury what we fear the most
Approaching original violence!
Is the silence where you hide it?
Cuz I don't recognize you anymore

To each his own
I can do with one less watered down excuse
If this is over you can
Tell me it's no use

Use!
Just tell me it's over!

Today
We will deceive
Our better selves
Into assimilating pain from something else
Put on your face
And show me why
Behind the scenes we had to [bad word] 
Now [bad word] Doesn't feel any better than it used to be
I wanna be a judge in a criminal case
You covered up, did [bad word] to be
Be yourself
Not yourself
Know yourself
Cuz no one seems to know you now

We carry what we can't control
Approaching original violence
In the silence
There is a nihilist
Who does't care
And now they're dead

To each his own
I can do with one less watered down excuse [bad word] a time when we can't
Take the same abuse
If this is over you can tell me it's no use

Use!
 [bad word] out bits I'll never get to say
What you wanted doesn't matter
Nothing's gonna change
I don't wanna watch another brother [bad word] die
So discarded, fall over the side
Don't tell me it's the only way
Just another reason why you never take the bait
The trials, the screaming, the burdens of the beast [bad word] your face and turned your back on
Everything you thought could save a try

We are the angels fear to tread
Approaching original violence
We're the silence
We'll deny it
We can't continue on like this

To each his own
I can do with one less watered down excuse [bad word] a time when we can't
Take the same abuse
My God, it won't take it just one
Reckless day from you
Now that this is over you can
Tell me it's no use

Use!
Just tell me it's over!

It doesn't matter what you say
It doesn't matter what you do
We can't continue on like this
